| Terms for subject Environment (6187 entries) |
| sajtóközlemény | press release (An official statement or announcement distributed to members of the media by a public relations firm, government agency or some other organization, often to supplement or replace an oral presentation) | |
| sár/iszap | mud (A mixture of clay and/or silt with water to form a plastic mass with a particle size preponderantly below 0.06 mm diameter. It is deposited in low-energy environments in lakes, estuaries and lagoons. It may also be deposited in deep-sea environments; sediment) | |
| sárgás moszatok | chrysophyta (The golden-brown and orange-yellow algae; a diverse group of microscopically small algae which inhabit fresh and salt water, many being planktonic. They contain carotenoid pigments and may be unicellular, colonial, filamentous or amoeboid) | |
| sárgulás | chlorosis (A disease condition of green plants seen as yellowing of green parts of the plants) | |
| sarjerdő szabványokkal | coppice with standards (A traditional system of woodland management whereby timber trees are grown above a coppiced woodland. It is used in particular as a method of exploiting oakwoods, in which all the trees except a rather open network of tall, well-formed oaks - the standards at about fifty per hectare - are felled, leaving plenty of space for hazels and other underwood to grow and be coppiced at intervals of ten to fifteen years) | |
| sarjerdő/erdősáv | coppice (A growth of small trees that are repeatedly cut down at short intervals; the new shoots are produced by the old stumps) | |
| sarki ökoszisztéma | polar ecosystem (The interacting systems of the biological communities and their nonliving environmental surroundings located in the regions where the air temperature is perennially below 10° Celsius, usually at and near the North and South Poles) | |
| sarkvidék | polar region (Area relating to the earth's poles or the area inside the Arctic or Antarctic Circles) | |
| sav | acid | |
| savas eső | acid rain (Rain having a pH less than 5.6. The acidity results from chemical reactions occurring when water, sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides, generally released by industrial processes, are chemically transformed into sulphuric and nitric acids) | |
| savas hidrolízis | acid hydrolysis | |
| savas ülepedés | acid deposition (A type of pollution which washes out of the atmosphere as dilute sulphuric and nitric acids. It tends to be a regional rather than a global phenomenon, linked to particular industrial activities and meteorological conditions. It includes rain, more than normally acidic snow, mist, sleet, fog, gas and dry particles. It upsets the balance of nature, disrupting ecosystems, and destroys forests and woodlands, plants and crops; kills aquatic life by altering the chemical balance of lakes and rivers and corrodes building materials and fabrics. The pollutants are caused principally by discharges from power station chimneys of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides released by burning fossil fuels, coal and oil) | |
| savasodás | acidification (Addition of an acid to a solution until the pH falls below 7) | |
| savassági fok | acidity degree (The amount of acid present in a solution, often expressed in terms of pH) | |
| sávos stratégia | wedge strategy | |
| Schistosoma-fertozés | schistosomiasis (A disease in which humans are parasitized by any of three species of blood flukes: Schistosoma mansoni, S. haematobium, and S. japonicum; adult worms inhabit the blood vessels) | |
| sebesség | speed (A scalar measure of the rate of movement of a body expressed either as the distance travelled divided by the time taken (average speed) or the rate of change of position with respect to time at a particular point (instantaneous speed). It is measured in metres per second, miles per hour, etc.) | |
| sebességkorlát | speed limit (The maximum permitted speed at which a vehicle may travel on certain roads) | |
| sebességtartomány | speed range | |
| sebészeti hulladék | surgical waste (Any tissue, blood or mucus removed during surgery or autopsy, soiled surgical dressings, or other materials requiring special disposal procedures) |
